Thomas David Deegan; a man with a plan
Thomas David Deegan had a plan to take over the country, he was going to start by taking over the West Virginia legislature and be an inspiration for other “sovereign citizens” to do the same. So he plotted with the West Virginia State Police to get his plan going, according to WCHSTV;
The complaint said Deegan made multiple statements trying to solicit assistance in removing multiple state officials from their offices in Charleston. Deegan stated those officials would be charged with crimes such as treason, which he said in a later statement that the punishment for such a crime would be death, the complaint said.
[…]
Detailed directions were given by Deegan, saying that any resistance from law enforcement or military personnel should be met with gunfire if necessary, the complaint said.
“We are at war,” police said Deegan said during a call. “The more bodies that come to Charleston, the less likely for bloodshed.”
Deegan said he didn’t want to have shots fired, but would fire if necessary and the more people, the more likely shots would be fired. Deegan was asked during the call if police would support them in which he replied, “if you see the police coming and pulling up in a vehicle, I suggest you shoot them.”
A quick Google through the search engines turn up several arrest records for Mr. Deegan over the last six years. So he’s pretty much a career criminal. I always thought that the sovereign citizens wanted nothing to do with the government and here this clown is trying to take control of the government. He should read their book.
He promised to reimburse his rebels for any expenses that they might incur as they prepared for their assault after they take the state treasury. You know, sovereign citizens don’t like paying taxes, apparently they don’t like paying for their own accommodations.
Some of his writings, like those found at Scanned Retina are as loony as anything written by the Dutch Rudder Club in court documents. He even has trouble with the shift key like them. I wonder why that’s so pervasive in the community of crackpots.

F’n whackadoodle.
He said he had a plan. He never said it was a GOOD plan!
If he had succeeded in taking over the WV government, it would have been quite a while before anyone noticed. Among the reasons for that is that WV’s legislature meets from Jan to March. I don’t suppose he knew that.
kinda like taking over the Texas Legislature – meets every other year. Most intelligent Texas want to change that to a year every other century.
…Sounds like he didn’t exactly think his cunning plan all the way through to the ‘then the authorities come after me and I look like a witless moron’ part.
Mike
The dude’s face just says it all…
“I’m a member of MENSA, just like Chevy!”
Hope he likes tubesteak and cockmeat sammiches
Dude looks like a meatgazer.
Looks like Ben Affleck.
That photo says…”Hmmmm is that pertater salads over there? Maybe it’s sum of mah kin!!”
/cause he’s FULL potato.
I also see tossed salads in his future.
Maybe a tuna sub?
Yup. The song of our native fruit bats. Justus Township, Montana was all I ever needed to see to know that none of these boys’ wiring is up to code.
Yeah, but does he know what an aircraft fuel gauge is.
. . . and does he use it when apropos?

He’s nuttier than a dozen barge loads of squirrel shit! I’m no big fan of Governments these days, but I think that nuthatches like Deegan need to be watched and dealt with, especially when they get to that degree of crazy. Let’s not forget that Terry Nichols,McVeigh’s accomplice to the OKC bombing was the same kind of looney-tune, he had filed papers in at least one courthouse (Marion County, KS if I’m correct) declaring himself a “Sovereign Citizen” exempt from laws and nutty bullshit like that which was put in what some Records Personnel refer to as the “Kook File”.
Actually, it should have been easy to take over W Virginia! Isn’t that the state that is all inbred and there is only one family living in the whole state ? LOL 🙂
U r a moron
Wonder how long he’s been off his meds?
Or was he ever on any meds at all?
Just as others, I’m not a fan of Big Bro. gub. club. Note to all who would listen and consider the Sovereign Citizens group. Might have good intentions down deep, but their approach is short-sided. Look up the escapades of one Monte Ervin of Dothan, Al and learn what NOT to do. Broadcasting your borderline maybe legal activities and you end up either another Waco or at the least on the same line as the recent Oath Keepers find themselves.
There’s really a LOT that needs fixed within our gub. First and foremost corruption and incompetence.
Nothing will ever be accomplished until we are tired and fed up with the entire mess. Us older folks DO have a line not to be crossed, and it’s nearer each day. Rather than limiting my thought to older folks, I should say ALL VETERANS. If we do reach that point we know nothing will be resolved by running to the press and broadcasting our thoughts. Kinda like getting into a pissing contest with a cop. Should we ever arrive at that thought, sooooo many people such as O. K. and the likes would not be an asset. Nor would the media. Just amazes me that these people believe they can motivate anything but weirdos and felons to sign up for their well-advertised plan.
I’m with ya, Devildog. I was (was) a member of III% United Patriots of Virginia until their minions started talking about overrunning the Whitehouse. I left promptly. It’s bad enough to be labled a right wing hardcore extremist veteran……
Sheesh, what a knob.
Why would anyone want to take over West, By God, Virginia ???
That would be like taking over Adams Friendship Wisconsin.
Nothing but trailers and kissing, and more, cousins…
John Winger: C’mon, it’s Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick ’em up, we zip right out again. We’re not going to Moscow. It”s Czechoslovakia. It’s like going into Wisconsin.
Russell Ziskey: Well I got the shit kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!
In the parking lot of White Castle?
I bet he’s one of those West Virginians that absolutely loves Halloween…….He loves to pumpkin!
Some of us just can’t win here – the lefties call us right wing nuts, but the real wing nuts don’t even let us know when they need our assistance on some important operation like this.
Yeah, that was sarcasm right there. Anyone who doesn’t automatically recognize that must be in the group where the political continuum circles around with all the goofiest of all the nut jobs meet out in lah-lah land behind the rest of us sane folk who manage to coexist in spite of our differences. Sometimes we even find ways to thrive because of our differences.
This guy is Coo Coo for crank laden Co Co Puffs!
Glad he shared his aspirations with the right people.
PS: Taking over the WV house would be simple! While they are in session announce, “free local farm cut bacon in the rear parking lot”. As the delegates rushed, scratched and punched their way to the empty parking lot, properly dressed replacements could just walk through the front door!
Editorial Note: No pigs where harmed in the crafting of this post. It was meant to funny. Not all people in WV wear overalls and walk around barefoot. This post can be humorously applied to: MS; KY; parts of FL; definately GA; and at least 6 counties of NY.
Seriously, these people really do need their very own planet, away from the rest of us… permanently.
I know a couple from WV who moved to Mississippi and were divorced. Later, they met in Texas and got re-married. Moved to Arizona and divorced.
He moved to Oregon. She showed up there a couple of years later and damn if they didn’t get re-re-married.
They moved back to WV and were concerned about their legal marital status — so — they went to a local judge, told him their saga and asked: “With all the marrying and divorcing in different states, we want to know: Are we still cousins?”
